Arena football coming back

From the Associated Press:

Officials from what will be known as Arena Football 1 say they will have 16 teams, including three in markets where the former Arena Football League had clubs: Chicago, Phoenix and Orlando, Fla.

The league will also have teams from the AFL spinoff, arenafootball2, as well as at least one team from another indoor league.

Last year, the Arena Football League folded after a number of issues came together at once to doom the niche league.
